Double-Face Knitting – A Tutorial

The Double-Face knitting technique is perfect for making scarves, hats, shawls, or, for example, potholders, which can be worn from both sides or should be beautiful on both sides. Their double layer makes accessories wonderfully warm. And all it takes is simple right and purl stitches!
In the double face technique, the front and back of the work are knitted at the same time, and both sides of the work appear in plain right. It is usually worked with two contrasting colors so that the motif presents itself clearly. Two sides with the same motif are created, once as a positive and once as a negative.
In this tutorial I explain step by step how you can knit in double face technique. It is not as difficult as it seems. I am sure that you will soon master the technique. And after working through this tutorial, you will be able to start working on projects that are a bit more complicated.

Here you will find a few nice projects to start with:
